How rwolo started their logo design journey

Summary

Avro Circuits Techonology 2001 is manufacturer of bare printed circuit boards. Our "current" logo is more than 20 years old and needs to be freshened up. Our current logo can be seen at http://www.avro.ca.

Company name

Avro Circuits Technology

What inspires you and how do you envision the design for your business?

The winning design will be used for company letterhead, website, business cards, invoices etc... as well a placed on every circuit board we manufacture for our clients. We would like a clean professional looking logo that may or may not includes variations of our old logo. We're open to looking at both new designs/concepts as well as freshened up variations of the old one.

Wants

- Should have either: Avro Circuits Technology, Avro Circuits or Avro somewhere in the concept. Attempts using the same graphic with all 3 different names is needed (see below)
- Company colors are royal blue but, would consider seeing other shades of blue or other colors.
- The logo being printed on the circuit boards themselves is VERY small ... would have to be less than 0.150"X0.150" and still legible. Again variations of the graphic with the 3 different names would be good to see as probably the one graphic with "Avro" would be used on the boards themselves.
- The final logo would have to be able to be printed in 1 color (manufacturing reasons) so something that has gradients and fades would be hard to print on the boards.
- The rest of the uses for this logo are standard printing so colors and anything else goes.

Don't want

Not sure what we don't want ... I know we want something professional and clean.
